Good to Know

• Mrs. Atherton appreciated all the appreciation shown to her this week for Principal Appreciation Day 🥰
• On our internationally recognized school survey, we received an overall of 4.09/5 for school climate. School climate consists of student, parent, and teacher perspectives on the overall social and emotional support, structure, student engagement, and safety in the school community. We are grateful to be doing well and continue to work toward keeping it positive at PCS!

Shout Outs

• To all our students and parent volunteers (Joy Sawchuk, Rose Fontaine, Danielle Bunker, Nallely Franklin, Francois Ehman & Rowena Bencio) for the awesome job picking up garbage. There were a lot of steps taken and many bags along the 10+km of road!
